Vertec RT product specialist Mike Holroyd pays a follow-up visit to Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital to check its progress with a Diacor Zephyr patient transfer system. With him are advanced practice radiographer (brachytherapy) Katie Cooper, head of radiotherapy physics Alison Vinall, trainee clinical scientist Sarah McDermott and deputy head of radiotherapy Liz Hughes.
Zephyr is designed and manufactured by Diacor to permit HDR treatment to follow scanning by MR or CT, without changing the position of the patient for improved consistency and accuracy of dose.
